CELEbrATING the most influential art movement
of the millennium
HIP HOP
Birthed by DJ Kool Herc at a basement party in the Bronx on August 11, 1973, Hip-Hop is turning 50 years old. To celebrate, EBONY and Mass Appeal have teamed up to honor the cultural disruptors who, for half a century, have elevated Hip-Hop from underground subculture to the most transformative art form in modern history. The EBONY x Mass Appeal Hip-Hop 50 Hub in partnership with Google Pixel is the premier destination for always-on multimedia content exploring the legacy and impact of Hip-Hop across art, music, fashion, business, entertainment, and more.
